Who Is Bonnie-Jill Laflin, Ex NBA Cheerleader, on ‘Basketball Wives’?

On Basketball Wives, years have passed since Tami Roman discovered that Evelyn Lozada dated her ex-husband and Evelyn fessed up. But time has not healed old wounds. Reunited on the show, Tami continues to dig up new dirt on Evelyn to prove that Evelyn is still not to be trusted. Meanwhile, the new ‘wife Bonnie-Jill Laflin gets caught in the middle.

Bonnie-Jill isn’t technically a wife (she’s the girlfriend of retired Los Angeles player Kareem Rush) but she knows the NBA inside and out. She was the league’s first female scout (for the Los Angeles Lakers) and was assistant general manager of the Lakers’ NBA Development League team the D-Fenders. Prior to that she was a NBA cheerleader with the Golden State Warriors and also an NFL cheerleader with the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. Bonnie-Jill is also an actress (Baywatch, Ally McBeal), and a supporter of the United States Armed Forces. She has been on 18 USO and Goodwill Tours including 8 to Iraq and Afghanistan.
